Brilliant idea

I use the waste bags for tablet foils. I am so grateful that you recycle them as I go through quite a lot of them. Many thanks xx

That’s wonderful to hear, thank you for using the Zero Waste Bag for your tablet foils
We’re so glad we can help you recycle them properly, especially when you go through so many!

Great to finally be able to recycle pill packets

Bag is a good size and substantial and looking forward to being able to recycle our pill packets without a huge amount of effort.

A great idea

Used small bag to collect packaging that couldn't recycle. Easy to fill and return via Inpost very easy

new saver

Pleased to find a way of keeping meds cards out of landfill relatively cheaply. Only been collecting for a month but looks as if I might get 3 months out of 1 bag

Great to hear you’ve found our solution a simple and affordable way to keep blister packs out of landfill! Even better, that you’re already seeing how far one bag can go, thank you so much for making a difference!

Medical blister packs

Great thing

Smaller bag

I took a long time to fill the large bag, even with the number of pills I take daily, so have opted for the medium sized bag as a replacement. A very convenient way to collect pill holders both plastic and foil.

Fantastic Product

Second time I've purchased a zero waste bag and similarly impressed with the scheme. Great way to recycle used medical blister packs.

Amazing to hear this is your second Zero Waste Bag Thank you for helping give medical blister packs a second life

Great

Such an easy way to recycle blister packs. Easy to purchase the bags - I find the medium size best for this. Easy to send in an in post locker. All in all a win win situation.

Zero waste bag medium

I think zero waste bags, are a Gr8 way to recycle things. Just take the bags to a in-post locker. I trust terracycle, with my waste. Knowing the waste will go to the right place, to get recycled.

Great service

Love them! Would give it 5 stars but cost is the only reason I’ve not!

Easy recycling

I use the terracycle waste bags for my cat food pouches. Easy to use and to send. Feels good doing something (however small) to reduce landfill waste.

Easy

Simple to use and return, and a useful size for recycling . Everyone should use these bags!

Zero waste large bag

Great way to recycle plastic waste that is very difficult to recycle otherwise. I have lots of medications so being able to responsibly dispose of the empty blister packs helps me feel i am making a difference in how this waste is processed when I have no choice on the packaging I receive medications in. Really easy to order, large bag holds months worth of multiple medications a day, simple to return: scan the QR code, find an in post locker or drop off point near you, take the barcode with your bag and drop off!

Zero waste bag - large

This is my second zero waste bag from Terracycle. It took me about two years to fill last one with blister packs. The bag held up well - although the sharp blister pack edges made a few nicks in the bag's sides which I only noticed as I was about to post it. However, they were easily stuck together with sellotape and the bag survived its journey to Terracycle where the contents and the bag itself were all recycled. I'm very happy to continue using this service.

Recycling with ease

The bag was a good size and it was easy to return it in the In Post locker once it was full
